Measles Epidemic and the Courts

Anti-vaxxers are on the defense now. There could be a good case to made for lawsuits for damages caused by their actions. Their excuses are ringing more and more hollow. There is a direct line from their movement to an epidemic.
And this lady was on CNN saying that diseases ebb and flow, and there's no proof that the epidemic is a result of parents foregoing vaccinations. She doesn't trust the CDC. And she has some experts that back her up.
Funny that this disease was almost wiped out entirely, and happened to "flow" when this movement got wings. And that the overwhelming evidence is that the bulk of the current cases came from unvaccinated children.
You can have your own opinions, but you can't have your own facts...
Credulity is destroying the country. If you can believe one thing with no evidence, or, in fact, in the face of ALL evidence against it, you can believe anything. And so here we have trickle down economics, religious based government, and now, kids getting sick and dying for no reason whatsoever.
We are definitely fucked.
These people can believe whatever they want. But when it affects so many others, they're going to have to explain themselves in court. I hope the lawsuits nip this nonsense in the bud quickly, before too many others get sick.
